The
girls have experienced an amazing land and its people. We
felt so safe. We all want to come back.

Children welcoming visitors
If you would love to learn how other cultures celebrate
family holidays without the corruption of our materialistic
values, then this is the trip for you. This is a fun and
exciting opportunity, rich in education and laden with values,
to immerse your family into another culture's traditions.
Native children performing traditional dances
Imagine being in a small village in the Amazon
Rainforest celebrating Christmas with a modest native community,
sharing a feast and dancing to the jungle rhythms produced
by drums, flutes and maracas. The native children will serenade
us with traditional songs. At the conclusion they distribute
artisanias as gifts to the guest.
Handing out presents
Then it's our turn to distribute gifts, brought
by our guests and by Amazonia Expeditions. As the children
patiently receive their presents, from smallest to tallest,
we involve our guests' children in distributing gifts of
clothes, dolls, teddy bears and balls. It is heart-warming
to see the delighted children shower our children with affection.
It must be heart-warming for the children as well; at the
end of last year's Christmas trip, every one of some 18
children aged, 5-15 years of age, enthused that this was
their best Christmas ever--and that they wished to return
the next year.
For the rest of your visit you will have
the opportunity to enjoy our many different adventurous
excursions, swimming with pink dolphins, exploring the canopy
from our zipline, hiking and canoeing into a variety of
ecosystems.
